Lanyards & Wristbands

Custom Promotional Lanyards & Wristbands

Looking for practical, high-visibility giveaways that keep your brand in front of people long after the event ends? Custom printed lanyards and wristbands are among the most effective promotional products for conferences, festivals, trade shows, workplaces, and charity events.

Why Choose Branded Lanyards and Wristbands?

• High visibility & daily use – Lanyards are worn for ID badges, keys, or access all day. Wristbands stay on wrists at festivals, sports events, and promotions.
• Cost-effective brand exposure – Low unit cost with excellent recall. Recipients keep and reuse them.
• Versatile & customisable – Available in a wide range of colours, materials, and styles. Add your logo, text, or full-colour print.
• Practical value – Recipients actually use them, unlike many giveaways that end up in a drawer.
   

Popular Options We Offer

All products can be printed with your logo or message. Free artwork support is available if you need design help.

Classic flat and tubular lanyards

These are the most popular everyday choice for events and workplaces. Flat lanyards sit neatly against the chest and offer a large print area, while tubular (round) styles feel soft and comfortable for all-day wear. Both are lightweight, durable and available in a wide range of widths (usually 15 mm or 20 mm). For a sustainable option, choose polyester lanyards made from recycled materials, perfect for showcasing branding in an eco-friendly and stylish way.

Breakaway / safety lanyards

Safety is a priority at many events and workplaces, which is why breakaway (also called safety-release) lanyards are increasingly popular. They feature a special clip or section that releases under pressure, reducing the risk of choking or injury if the lanyard gets caught. This makes them particularly suitable for festivals, sports events, schools, hospitals, and any environment where people move around a lot. Dye sublimation lanyards are the perfect choice for detailed designs and can be full colour printed on both sides as standard.

Lanyards with ID holders or badge reels 

When you need more than just a neck strap, lanyards with integrated card holders or retractable badge reels are the practical solution. They keep access passes, visitor badges, staff ID cards and tickets protected and easy to present. Ideal for environments such as conferences, schools, and workplaces where security is required. Plastic cardholders can even be Pantone-matched for a more premium branded look.

Lanyards with Phone Holders

A modern favourite, phone holder lanyards (sometimes called cross-body or phone pouch lanyards) feature a secure fabric or silicone patch designed to hold most standard phone cases, keeping the phone safe, accessible and hands-free. Perfect for busy festivals, trade shows, city events or any situation where people need their hands free, these lanyards combine branding with real practical value

Silicone and slap-wrap wristbands

Silicone wristbands remain one of the most popular and versatile promotional products. They’re affordable, comfortable, waterproof and available in virtually any Pantone colour. You can print or deboss your logo, slogan or campaign message, making them ideal for fundraising, awareness campaigns, festivals, sports events and charity functions. 

Slap-wrap (or slap-band) styles are especially useful for safety and night-time visibility. Simply slap them onto wrists or ankles and they stay in place. Many versions include reflective elements, which is perfect for running events, cycling campaigns or any outdoor activity after dark.

Fabric and woven wristbands

For multi-day events, fabric and woven wristbands outperform paper or plastic alternatives. They are soft, comfortable for extended wear and far more resistant to tearing or breaking. Attendees frequently keep them as souvenirs long after the festival or conference ends, providing lasting brand visibility.

Many fabric styles can include full-colour printing, woven logos or even QR codes for quick scanning at gates, VIP areas or check-in points. They’re a more premium feel than silicone while remaining cost-effective in volume, making them a strong choice for music festivals, multi-day conferences, sports tournaments and high-profile charity events.
